Moving and early termination
I had been unemployed for about a year and a half and only recently found part time work and my unemployment ended. Essentially I might have to move in with my parents again so that I can save a little money and get on my feet again. I would be moving into a condo that only has allowed comcast to install their cable lines and have not allowed fios in yet. Comcast was essentially installed there when they were built. Will I have to pay $360 ETF? I have been a good customer and have been with fios for a couple of years now and would certainly go back when I can. RIght now though finding more work and saving money is my necessary focus. Are there ways to go month to month right now so I won't get dinged the $360. if/when I move? Thanks for any answers.
Hi everyone, Very rarely do I ever get onto forums but after today I must say how horrible my experience has been with Verizon and how horrible they are treating their loyal customers. I have been with Verizon for several years and have always been a supporter of the company. I moved about a year ago and took verizon with me they said great news we can get you a great deal if you sign up for the next 2 years. Fine this sounded great I was going to be in the area 3 or 4 more years and even if I moved they said no problem take it with you. Well my parents retired and wanted for me to buy their house, I then tried to transfer my Verizon but there is not Fios in the area. I need fast internet as I work in IT and DSL just will not fullfill the need. I have requested for many years to have FIOS to be put into my parents house and it just has never been installed. So now my wife and I have 13 months left on a contract, with 130$ termination fee. We have called and spoken to a rude manager. And plan to never use verizon ever again. I have been a loyal customer for close to 10 years, and I want to take the service with me but it is not offered, they will not waive this fee. I had no idea this is how things worked now, I had moved before many years back and Verizon had told me if you move and we dont offer the service we will waive the fee. I trusted verizon, and verizon cares not about the loyalty of their customers. I would have stayed with them at the new home if only the services that I need were available. My family owns a few companies and I will be asking them all to stop using verizon, as they no longer care about their customers. They care about themselves only. Its not only about the money, its that I have always supported and told companies to use verizon (I work in IT) I have always said to every company that I do an install go Verizon they will take care of you not only with great internet but great customer service. It seems that I must change this to Xfinity now, because Verizon has lost touch of being customer friendly. I will make sure to post this on every forum and spread it around facebook. Hopefully Verizon will change its ways. I am so disappointed, you digusted me today Verizon From an ex loyal customer

1st generation iPhone and Early Termination Fee
Hello all, here's a question, since it was announced that AT&T will no longer share revenue with Apple does this now mean that owners of the unsubsidized 1st generation iphone will be able to get out of their 2 year contracts early without a Early Termination Fee?
More than likely, yes.
The first generation iPhone was not subsidized in the traditional way, as the iPhone 3G will be subsidized.
at&t did not provide a subsidy or a discount to you on the sales price of the first generation iPhone.
I became an at&t subscriber 3-4 months prior to the iPhone being available. I selected a phone that was subsidized by at&t agreeing to a new two year contract. I activated my iPhone as an existing subscriber agreeing to a new two year contract on my iPhone's activation date. I was not charged an early contract termination fee or any penalty when doing so, and I still have my original phone that was subsidized by at&t which I've used with my iPhone's SIM card on occasion.
The same should apply when purchasing the iPhone 3G, which will require agreeing to a new two year contract beginning on the activation date for the 3G iPhone with no early contract termination fee penalty for the existing iPhone - which was not subsidized in the traditional way as the iPhone 3G will be subsidized. -
Verizon FiOS Early Termination Fee and Very Poor Customer Service
I posted this as a reply to an earlier thread... but think it deserves a little more attention.... please read. Thank you.
Re: Verizon FiOS Early Termination Fee -- Salesman AND Manager lied
08-09-201402:03 PM
This is one organization that I will never do business with agan. You live and learn these days!! They are insisting on charging me the early termination fee of $110.00 even though Verizon DOES NOT offer service in the area I am moving to this August. My conversation with them today started like this:........ I asked if they had service at my new residential address. They indicating they did not and then I was immediately transferred to their "disconnect" department. In this "disconnect" department..... I was told I would have to pay that termination fee anyway regardless of the fact that Verizon does not offer service in that area. This was stated per someone named "Jay" representing Verizon.... This Jay would NOT even consider waiving the termination fee at all... so I asked to speak with his supervisor and got some complete jackass named Freddy who also tells me I must take the HD Set Top boxes to a "corporate" UPS location and that they will not waive my termination fee just because?? So I asked for his last name... which he did not give me... but did give what he said was his employee ID number. ( who really knows if that was a legitimate ID number anyway) So why is it that they would not be willing to waive the fee?? For me ...it is simple to explain..... Because I complained about it.... that is why!! Verizon is very wrong here and this "Freddy" character should be immediately fired. The company's customer service does need an immediate overhaul.... and this Freddy guy is playing with the good name of what once was a very reputable company. However... now.... because Verizon have no legimate process for immediate or quick complaint resolutions, they are quickly becoming a company that many people do not want to do business with anymore. I had a similar experience with Verizon Wireless as well; when I cancelled their service earlier this year..... It is not that the fee that bugs me so much.... even though it makes little sense......It is Verizon's lack of professional customer service and the questionable ethics of many of this company's representatives that has left such a distaste that I will never do business with them anymore. Just my 2 cents... for what it might be worth.I have also had horrible service with Verizon customer service and their ETF. I moved to a new area that Verizon fios does not cover. When I moved into the new house a few weeks ago, I attempted to cancel their service, but I was told I had to keep it until my phone number was ported to Charter. I called Verizon to cancel my internet/Fios TV only and they said it would be taken care of.
Charter sent a request to them on 11/24/14 to port my phone number and Verizon denied the request a week later. I initially thought it was Charter messing up the port but come to find out, it was Verizon. I called Verizon on 12/08/14 and I was told they denied the port due to an "outstanding" bill. Well that bill was for the month in advance, which doesn't make sense because I had already canceled the service. So they were charging me for the phone, internet, and TV at an empty house. Verizon made me pay the bill so I could get my phone number ported. I paid the fee and they said the the number was ready to be ported. On 12/10/14 I received a call from Charter saying Verizon denied the port AGAIN!!!. So I called Verizon and according to them, Charter never requested the number. That doesn't make sense because I’m sure Charter is doing everything they can because they aren't being paid until that number gets ported over.
I asked the Verizon agents to give me something in writing so I could put it back on Charter but they refused to do so. (Charter gave me written proof documenting Verizon denying the port, so I know Verizon was lying.) So after dealing with Verizon and their laziness I canceled my phone number, which will cause me a lot of heartache in the future. The agent then asked if I was canceling the FIOS TV and Internet. I told him it should have already been canceled, but it wasn't. So they said it will cancel today after they already took my money for the month.
I asked to speak to a supervisor and they agent said, "Why, she wont be able to do anything." I asked him again and he finally agreed to transfer me over. After a 10 minute wait a lady named Karyn I believe, answered the phone. I explained to her how my phone number was not being ported and she said "We don’t block a port, Charter must have messed it up.” I asked her for written documentation and she refused to provide me with anything. I explained to her the reason why I had to move into a new house, due to work and my safety and she said, “Well if your military I could help you but I’m sorry I cant.” She said the only way to get out of paying for the ETF, is if I was deployed over seas fighting a war. Then she said if someone were to die, she could waive the fee...thats ridiculous.
I asked her if I was going to have to pay for the past few weeks of my service, even though I tried to cancel it and they held up my order and she said, “Ill credit you $11.00.” Thats nothing when my bill is $150.00 a month. She did nothing to help even though Verizon dropped the ball on this. Over all I am very disgusted with the employees and supervision with Verizon and I will most likely never to business with them again, unless they admit their mistakes and make it right. I have given them thousands of dollars and hours of my time and this is how they repay you. Oh and by the way, they want me to drive down to the UPS store and return their boxes for them. So they can inconvenience me further. -
Verizon FiOS Early Termination Fee -- Salesman AND Manager lied
In May 2013, I purchased a house in Dallas and called Verizon to have FiOS installed. Knowing there was a chance I would have to relocate for work in the coming months, I insisted to the salesman that I did not want a long-term contract. However, he ASSURED me that if I relocated to an area that did not have FiOS coverage, I could walk away from the contract without paying the early termination fee, so I signed.
Of course, I ended up moving several months later to Michigan (no FiOS coverage) and Verizon predictably balked at letting me out of the contract. After explaining myself to a customer service rep, I was promised a call back from a manager. A couple weeks passed without a call, so I followed up. To my surprise, Verizon actually had a record of the previous call and stated that my file had a note indicating a manager was supposed to call me back. The manager was as polite as could be, so I explained the situation and she said, "No problem, we'll waive the fee; just turn in your equipment." So I thanked her and had my equipment returned and thought everything was closed out.
However, since then, I have been getting bills stating that I still owe the early termination fee. I've made numerous attempts now to sort it out but every time I do, I just get lost in Verizon's labyrinth of a phone system, listening to blaring and garbled music while endlessly waiting on hold. Today, I was told that the only two ways out of the early termination fee are a death certificate or military status. If that's the case, fine, but that doesn't explain why no one at this company appears to be synced up or on the same page. Just every man for himself, tell the customer whatever you want, lie if you need to make a sale and just say whatever it takes to get them off the phone.
What I owe at this point in time is just over $100, but I will continue to fight on principle alone. What's funny is that I really liked FiOS and wish they had it in Michigan, but after this, you can forget about it. I'm done with Verizon's products and services permanently. Verizon has been put on my corporate black list along with the {please keep your posts courteous}.Sorry for bumping this but I am having a somewhat similiar issue.
My apartment complex has a dedicated Verizon FiOS rep, and when I was considering Verizon or sticking with Bright House, one of the concerns I had was signing a 2 year contract and then if I had to move in a year to somewhere where FiOS was not available, being stuck with the early termination fee. My "rep" assured me that if I moved somewhere where FiOS was not available that the early term fee would be waived.
Well fast forward a year to the present time where I am in a situation right now where I am going to need to cancel my Verizon FiOS service at the beginning of April because the place I am moving to (right down the road) is not wired for FiOS. If I could I would transfer my service over because I actually like it, but unfortunately I don't have a choice. (and this place is the only apartment I can really afford given my current salary and everything)
Long story short, been talking with a couple people at Verizon and have heard everything from I have no choice but to pay it to "If you just downgrade to phone service for a month then call and cancel, you don't have to pay the early term fee". (And I wrote down the rep's name, date and time of when THIS call took place since as someone who works in a quality assurance/compliance dept at a call center, I know these calls can easily be pulled)
But now I can't just cancel it like I was originally told because my new place right now the street is not wired for FiOS.
Really, really aggrevating and bad customer service all around with this. Which way is it?? -
I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012. I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?
As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock. How do I go about it?
Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
active.

Early termination and trading in device for a credit?
In May of last year (May 2014) they had a think going on where when you upgraded your phone you were eligible to get a free tablet (with agreement of a 2 year additional contract) so i bought it for my Husband at the time for Fathers Day (i go the Samsung Galaxy tablet) and opened it up in my name. Well since we recently divorced he gave me back the tablet and now im responsible for the payment every month for a tablet i dont even use. So i wanna know if i do the early termination and cancel my plan and pay the fee can i trade in the tablet and receive some kind of credit that i can use towards the fee? And do i have to pay anything back because the tablet was free?
Once you pay the ETF for that tablet, it's yours. You can try to sell it to make some money, but I cannot think of any quick flip without the wait. i cannot think of any program allowing a trade-in of a tablet right now. You could try an AOL/assumption of liability but I'm doubting that will be agreed upon given your situation. I am not sure how a termination of a free tablet on promo in connection with a 2 year agreement for phone service might work.

Question regarding early termination and handset earpiece volume
Hello,
I purchased iphone a week ago from ATT.
If I terminate my contract after 10 months, do I have to return my iphone to ATT even though I pay the early termination fee?
Another question is this,
when I get a phoe call, the handset earpiece volume is not loud enough to hear in the noisy place.
Is there anyway to fix this problem?
Thank you.chung1q wrote:

No, you only have to return it if you cancel within the first 30 days and don't pay the fee.

Your volume switches work differently depending on what you are doing. You may get a readout above the "speaker" symbol that appears on the screen telling you what volume is being adjusted.
If you are not using anything, the volume switches adjust the ringer volume.
If you are playing music or video, they adjust the music/video volume.
If your headphones are plugged in, they adjust the headset volume.
If you are actually on a call, they adjust the earpiece volume or speakerphone volume, whichever you are using (without a readout).
If you are on a phone call using bluetooth, they adjust the bluetooth volume.
Dial something like the National Time Signal (303) 499-7111 or your local recdorded weather and adjust the volume during the call. -
IPhone 5 Early Termination and Account Transfer
My wife and I both have VZW grandfathered unlimited data plans and want to keep it that way. So here is my grand scheme:
We buy two iPhone 5s on a completely new account and two year agreement ($398). We immediately turn around and close the account(s) and pay the early termination charges ($700). Bam! We just automatically saved $200. Right?
So tell me if anyone sees a whole in my dastardly plan.If you terminate them within 14 days your going to give your phone back.
You have to wait 30 days to cancel. And it might hurt you if you do this again because Verizon keeps a record of all changes like canceling a line within so many days because say next year you do this again for iPhone 6 or another phone they could say well you just cancelled a line why do you need another 1.
When you cancel you have 30 days to pay for the fee. If you can't affairs that you would need to make a payment araingement.
If you use a new account from a different person and put it on your line you can't add insurance to your phone. -
How do I determine what my early termination fee will be?
My phone broke last week. The ear piece is distorted but it still works using a headset. I went into the store to see about fixing it. The don't work on LG Chocolates and I was told the replacement is an LG Extravert. I inquired about getting a new phone and using the value of the Extravert towards the new phone but was told they don't do that. I have been paying insurance on my phone for a couple years now and thought that meant I'd get a phone that was as good as my Chocolate. (removed) Since they would not work anything out with me(a 15 year customer with a family of 4 plan), I had them send me the Extravert. The store clerk said it was going to be there the next day. Apparently next day means over-the-weekend. So I was out of town the beginning of the week and didn't get to open the box until yesterday. The Extravert came incomplete with no battery nor back. It is also clown-red. The specs show it is clearly not an equal replacement for my Chocolate. Whatever... Anyway I got to argue with 2 Verizon reps on the phone about how it was not an equivalent phone for about an hour at one point being told that i had the option of selling the Extravert back to them for, much to my chagrin, $1. I pay $6 a month to insure my phone and they will send me a phone they value at $1!. I asked how much they would sell me the Extravert for and the rep said around $175! So you can probably see why I am not a happy customer. 15 years of loyalty and they can't do a thing to help me and don't seem to care. I realize it is not the person I talk to on the phones company and I am just one person so I am small potatoes. Again, whatever... So after the frustration of the last week, I have decided I need to end my relationship here and move on. So after venting, how does Verizon determine the early termination fee? Thanks in advance for your responses and a big no-thanks to Dorothy (removed) who was one of the exasperating folks I got to argue with for an hour yesterday...
Edited as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
Message was edited by: Admin ModeratorYou can't cancel service online. However, if you are moving to another carrier, start service with them and port your number - that will initiate the cancellation from Verizon. You also have to have an active line of service to port your number; if you cancel before starting service with someone else, your number is lost.
Backdating an increased data allowance is preferable and allowed - prorating is why you can't backdate a reduction. It will most likely result in overages in a majority of situations, defeating the purpose of the reduction, so it is simply not possible to do. The reduced allowance will take effect the next billing cycle. -
Early Termination Fee with No Service Available After Move
I have been a proponent and a loyal customer of Verizon FIOS for 7 years. Our contract was set to expire earlier this year and we were faced with a significant monthly increase. Knowing that we may (or may not) be moving within the next 12 months, I proactively asked two separate sales agents about the Early Termination Fee if we were to sign another contract. We knew the area to which we are moving lacks Verizon FIOS coverage, and because of that BOTH agents said the fee would be waived.
Now 7 months have passed and we are moving. I called Verizon to cancel our service, and the retention specialist so kindly asked for the $170 ETF. She told me that the fee would not be waived, regardless if Verizon could not provide continued service at my new residence. She was also kind enough to apologize that I was misinformed at the time I signed the new contract.
Whether I was misinformed, misled, or the sales agents intentionally misrepresented the terms to secure the contract, I expect a company to have better standards and practices. After my conversation, a simple search revealed numerous examples of Verizon customers in the exact situation as me. As the old adage goes, ‘Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.’ And clearly the practice of misinforming customers is present, abundant, and even possibly accepted.
I doubt that by the time I move that my ETF will be waived, and I will be extorted into paying it in full. My hope is that a potential customer reads this and other forum posts, and becomes a more informed consumer of the Verizon packages and contracts. Before signing a contract, not only do due diligence of reading the forums, ask the sales agents to point out where features are located in the contract. If they can’t or if they won’t put in writing what they say, then walk away.
The only solace I have is that I will be renting my house. When the tenant moves in, I have the opportunity to inform – or perhaps misinform – them of who has superior Internet and Television performance in our area.

I mean, this is bad. Do not want to go but there is no other go.
Initially, there is no signal in my office location, started a topic here as well to get solutions.
Spoke to customer care and they suggested I sepnd my money and get a amplifier for $250 or more. Man if I had that money wouldn't I pay up the entire early termination fee and quit this bad network ?
Last 8 months, when I am inside my building all calls dropped, no voicemails delivered, no messages and no internet. I am in my office 9-6 daily. Imagine how pathetic I would feel without being able to use a phone for which I am paying monthly bills without miss, 2 connections.
Note: coverage in my office location is "Good" according to the coverage map. they say coverage inside buildings cannot be assured. What the heck are they providing service for ? only for people in the road, out in the SUN ? ? ?
Last week we shifted residence and guess what ? Our coverage at home is also lost, most of the calls dropped!!!
And the coverage viewer says good coverage in my home area as well.
Enough is enough! Don't want to be here anymore.I will try and find who provides better network coverage and move on. ATT sucked, we moved to verizon believing it is a superior network, same crap here
Could someone from customer support help me with disconnecting my 2 lines please ?
Read above, this is from a frustrated customer who lived with pathetic service for almost an year now with 2 lines.
Appreciate any help.I have an iphone4 with this pathetic verizon conenction, I am not sure how much would be the ETF. I am only 6 months prior to 2 year contract ending still, I have to pay hefty! Awesome! Whatever it is, I am not planning to stick to vzw anyways, what's the use of having vzw connection and if they don't provide good service??
Good luck! -
Screwed on early termination with a move
I moved from PA to MA, and because those are different billing areas, Verizon is treating the move as an early termination and new activation.
They have decided to bill an ETF and an installation fee. I've been on hold waiting to talk to a supervisor for 20min.
This policy is criminal. Has anyone had luck getting Verizon to be reasonable in handling an interstate move?So we can get more information from you, We would like to look into this for you.

Early Termination for Upgrading to Smart Phones
I am really frustrated with Verizon right now. I have plan with several smart phones and 2 basic phones. I wanted to upgrade these 2 phones to Smart Phones. I couldn't imagine that this would be an issue. Verizon only earns more money by having me purchase smart phones instead of basic phones. I was told that I can't upgrade until September when the contract on these basic phones is up unless I want to pay a $175 early termination fee per phone. I understand that in general, you need people to stay with the contract for the 2 years in order to cover the price of the phone they were given. In this case, these are cheap phones. I'm sure they have been paid for many times over in the past year. If I upgrade, verizon will be getting $40 a month per phone instead of $20 a month per phone. I might even upgrade the Data plan. Instead I am completely trapped until September. $175 Termination fee would be way more than these basic phones are worth. I am tempted to go to another carrier and start a new contract and let these run out - it will actually cost me less to pay the bill for these phones and not use them than to pay for an early termination fee. Or maybe I'll try one of the comanies that offers to pay your termination fee. Verizon - you are not making sense! P.S. If you want my basic phones back, you can have 'em.
Unfortunately Joe, VZW can't bend the rules just to satisfy you or anyone else. I know you may think that it would be only smart for them to let you out to get another phone plan that will yield them more revenue. However, they're not seeing it that way in your case. Rule are rules regardless of if we like them or not. I upgraded my iP5 to an iP6+ in September. I was less than 2 months on the end of of current 2 year agreement...but because I used Early EDGE I had to give away my phone, which I was 2 months from owning outright, back to VZW for absolutely no compensation just to enjoy the offer of Early EDGE. Fair...maybe not to most. Some people would think that VZW should have just let them out since they were so close to the end...but I didn't see it that way. I understood my agreement when I signed up and therefore I knew I had to uphold my end of the bargain. My point is, VZW makes exceptions for a lot of things...but I've never really heard anyone on here say that they've bumped up an upgrade just because they were asked by the consumer. Best of luck to you with your next carrier...but be advise that I don't think many other carriers are going to bump your upgrade date just because you ask...they'll inform you that if you plan to upgrade earlier than 2 years then you'd probably want to try their version of EDGE...(i.e. Next, JUMP, or Easy Pay)

Difference between ECC 6.0 and earlier versions
Hi,
one of the difference between ECC 6.0 and earlier versions is that instead 'WS_UPLOAD' and 'WS_DOWNLOAD' in ECC we should use 'GUI_UPLOAD' and 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' respectively.
(of course SPDD and SPRO tcodes is known by everone i suppose)
Similarly can u all put down some differences here, atleast one entry by each, I think we can make a good docu. I have searched the net for the differences but could not get much, so by each of us contributing one each, it would become good docu..for all of us.
Thanx in advanceUnicode Errors Encountered and their Solutions
E1. In u201CTEXT MODEu201D the u201CENCODINGu201D addition must be specified.
Error:
OPEN DATASET FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
Solution:
OPEN DATASET FILE FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE.
E2. In Unicode, DESCRIBE DISTANCE can only be used with the IN BYTE MODE or IN
CHARACTER MODE addition.
Error:
DESCRIBE DISTANCE BETWEEN T_KOMK AND T_KOMK-HIEBO01 INTO BPOS.
Solution:
DESCRIBE DISTANCE BETWEEN T_KOMK AND T_KOMK-HIENR01 INTO BPOS
IN CHARACTER MODE.
E3. u201CUSR02-UFLAGu201D must be a byte-type field (Typ X or XSTRING )
Error:
IF USR02-UFLAG O YULOCK.
Solution: Since the data type of USR02-UFLAG is type INT and is compared with data type
X u2013 Hence the error. So we define a new variable ZULOCK and assign the
value of USR02-UFLAG to ZULOCK.
New variable
DATA: ZULOCK(1) TYPE X. "APBRP00
Assign value
ZULOCK = USR02-UFLAG.
Compare -
IF ZULOCK = YULOCK. u201Creplace IF USR02-UFLAG O YULOCK.
E4. HT cannot be converted to a Character type field
Error :
WRITE ht TO t_data+10(2).
Solution : Since the data type of ht is a type u2018Xu2019 and the data is been transfer to
t_data which has a data type u2018Cu2019. value of one data type cannot be copy to
another data type where one of them is type string .Hence the error occur,
so the data type of ht is been change to Type u2018Cu2019
OR
A Tab ( value 09 ) is introduced as part of the row. The value 09 is not converted in Unicode environment. Instead we need to use class
Error:
DATA: BEGIN OF ht,
x(1) TYPE x VALUE '09',
END OF ht.
Solution:
Define Class after the Tables definition.
CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.
Data Defination : Comment internal table HT and define a variable HT type C.
* Insert + APRIA00 05/02/2007 Unicode project
* DATA: BEGIN OF ht,
